1. If they ask me my creed, I do not reveal it
And conceal it, concealing it is safer for me

2. If I say I am Hanafi, they would say that I
Permit alcohol which is the forbidden drink

3. If I say I am Maliki, they would say that I
Permit them to eat dogs which they are keen to do

4. If I say I am Shafi’i, they would say that I
Permit marriage with daughter which is prohibited

5. If I say I am Hanbali, they would say that I
Am unbearably extreme, ugly, corporealist

6. If I say I am from the people of Hadith and their party
They would say a goat does not know or understand

7. I am surprised by this time and its people
No one’s tongues are safe from harm

8. My time has opposed me and brought a group
Who do not know, while I know
